GUCY2D-related dominant retinopathy

GUCY2D-related dominant retinopathy is a type of inherited eye disease that affects the retina, the light-sensitive part of the eye. This condition is caused by a specific change in the GUCY2D gene. In people with this condition, a heterozygous gain of function or dominant-negative variant in the GUCY2D gene leads to retinopathy. The retina is important for vision, and problems with it can affect how light is processed, which might lead to difficulties with vision over time. People with this condition may experience changes in their visual abilities as the disease affects the retinal cells. Although the detailed symptoms are not fully described here, the genetic change in the GUCY2D gene is central to causing the retinal issues seen in this condition. This summary is based on the key definition of the condition, and additional detailed descriptions of symptoms are not available in the source information.

Information about symptoms is currently limited for this condition.

This condition is caused by a variant in the GUCY2D gene. In this type of retinopathy, the change in the gene may either cause the gene to be overly active (gain of function) or to interfere with the normal gene product (dominant-negative effect). Such changes in the gene can lead to problems in the retina, affecting how light is sensed and processed.
